go figure, the layout i despise {maybe the very most}, was on top of my blog for who knows how many days,,, but I'm not gonna dwell on it. i can't. i won't. hi. im here, and YES, i am alive. thank you to those of you that looked for me, and even sent emails wondering if i was okay. i really, REALLY appreciate it. thank YOU. i know i never said it out loud, but i did tell myself i would blog everyday for a whole year. and secretly, you counted on it too. well, crap, i got so close. can i have a little credit for the 261 days i made it?? i missed a few days, and i gotta be honest, it felt alright. so now, yeah, im still gonna blog like crazy, totally not going anywhere, i need you too desperately. but now, since i suck and didn't make my own personal cut, ill be blogging as i feel. sometimes, i just didnt feel like blogging, but i did, because i promised i would. well, promises will be broken, bridges will burn and life will go on. im pretty sure you are already over it and ready to move on with me,,, so let's get on with it,,, my life about six weeks ago changed like crazy, crazy,,, i would come, go, stay, leave, play, relax, dream, create,,, anything. whatevers me and my kiddos felt like doing that day. then, it started,,, soccer, tap, ballet, soccer *team* mom, room mama, oh yeah, and lets not forget the most important - school!!!

you just put how i've felt about my life over the last couple months into words. reading it was like, how the hell did she get into my head??

i think you are where i'm at...your oldest starting K. i swear i had NO IDEA how much work and mentally exhausting it would be. and he's starting baseball next month. and my little girl started preschool a couple months ago, too. and i'm looking to put her into dance. and there's homework, and room mom, and "art masterpiece" mom (whatever the hell that is...i signed up for it and they just sent me the info today), and playdates, and birthday parties, and did i mention the damn flood of homework a kindergartener has???, and...and...and...

and even though i'm so loving every minute of it and can't soak up enough, sometimes i just want to play with some paper and even get angry when i can't exactly when i want.

so, what i'm trying to say is...i'm feelin' ya!! sometimes it's just nice to know someone else understands, (especially someone else with a paper addiction, which VERY few people seem to "get", which crazes me even more), even if they are hundreds of miles away and can't do anything physical for you. ~virtual hugs~
